LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the temperature of
the Li-ion battery.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is
within the normal range when the display
is within the zone
1shown in the illustra-
tion.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery var-
ies according to the outside air tempera-
ture and driving conditions.
NOTE:
• If the display indicates that the tem-
perature of the Li-ion battery is near the
red zone end of the normal range, re-
duce vehicle speed to decrease the
temperature. If the indicator is over the
normal range, the power provided to
the traction motor is reduced when the
power limitation indicator light is illumi-
nated. Therefore, the vehicle is not as
responsive when the accelerator is de-
pressed while the power limitation light
is illuminated. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Power limitation indicator
light” in this section.
• If the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Li-ion temperature gauge may
not display a temperature reading. The
vehicle may not be able to be put in the
READY to drive mode. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
